I am
back after my vacation, we had great time back in Chennai. I hope you all had
great Christmas and wonderful New Year celebrations. I was really missing you
all a lot, thank you all friends, readers, subscribers and visitors for your
continuous support and encouragement. I am blogging after about a month, so I
thought of sharing with you all something very healthy, quick and yummy – Ragi Semiya
Upma. Before going into the recipe I want to share a few things about Ragi.

Ragi/finger
millet is a rich source of Calcium, Iron, Protein, Fiber and other minerals.
The rich source of fiber in Ragi helps to lower cholesterol level and is very
easy to digest. Ragi cools down our body temperature in hot days and helps in
weight control as well. The rich natural source of calcium in Ragi helps in
strengthening the bone in growing children, older people and keeps everyone
healthy. Check out my other Ragi dishes like Ragi Koozh, Ragi Kanji, RagiVadai, Ragi ladoo, Ragi Dosai, Ragi Puttu, Ragi Adai in the respective links.

Kezhvaragu
Koozh is a
traditional Tamil Nadu dish which is an excellent cooler and nutritious one pot
meal. This koozh is especially prepared in the month of “Aadi” for Amman and distributed to everybody in all the Amman temples and houses. In
my mother’s house we prepare rice kanji for Amman, but in my in-laws it has
been a tradition to prepare koozh for Amman. My MIL prepares koozh, mochai kottai kara kuzhambu, drumsticks leaves poriyal, Pidi kozhukkatai and offer it
to Amman in the month of “Aadi” and we all do special prayers and distribute it to everybody. Though I was not
used to koozh, but after my marriage I have fallen in love with this healthy
koozh. So this is my MIL’ s special Amman Koozh...

Ragi
kanji is a very healthy way to start your day. This is a perfect porridge even
for small babies. I used to give this to my girl when she was 6 months, she was
lactose intolerant. So I used to substitute milk with yogurt (thayir) and no
sugar, just salt. When you start for your babies, give small quantities and
gradually increase the amount. Later on when they turn older like 12 months or
above you can start with the sathu maavu kanji available in shops or make it at
home as well.

I grew
up on ragi kanji when I was a kid, now my kids are having it. Even now me and
my husband have it at least two or three times a week for breakfast.

Now that my kids have no school and are at home, they wanted some thing sweet. So I was thinking something healthy as well delicious. That is when I wanted to make ragi ladoo. I came across my friend Preethi’s blog.
I found her ragi ladoo very interesting, she had used almond milk powder. I
skipped that part and added cardamom
powder. The ladoos came out fabulous, my kids loved it. Thanks a lot Preethi. So I thought I will
share it with you all.
